Great Uncle Augie "Part of the Greatest Generation"
Breakfast with Uncle Augie | By: Danny Mishek (Great Nephew) | Des Moines, IA | May 13, 2023 I was able to get the stars aligned to watch two of my college kids compete in the same event in Des Moines, Iowa. With my work schedule and their golf schedules, this has only happened one previous time. I drove down Tuesday night to take Monterey and her friend Ruthie out for dinner, as Colten would not make the trip to Des Moines with the team until Wednesday morning. By the time I arrived in Des Moines around 7:45 pm, both kids confirmed that they would tee off around 11 am the next day. That would free up my morning. I knew I could catch up on work emails and make a few calls, but I thought I would reach out to my Great Uncle Augie to see if he could join me for breakfast on short notice. It had been close to a year since I had last seen him and before that, probably another 4 years. He is the last surviving sibling of my beloved Grandma Elva. I thought it would be good to buy him break
